  • IanBorrett ian (@IanBorrett) reported from Lambeth, England

    Another day without @virginmedia service, cannot report a fault and yet these wankers continue to charge me. Avoid like the plague.

  • AngusTeee Angus Teee (@AngusTeee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Please can you explain why broadband has gone down in the London N1 area and what you are doing to remedy this? I have an urgent deadline to hit and currently have no internet access ...

  • jpmcic Jean-Paul Marc (@jpmcic) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia It is my wired connection that is at fault. Have literally plugged my laptop in directly to the Virgin Hub box and run various tests and network diagnostics for which I have confirmed the slow speeds.

  • jpmcic Jean-Paul Marc (@jpmcic) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia serious issues, getting less than 18Mbps on a 350Mbps package for past 24 hours and connection drop-outs. Impacting my ability to work and very frustrating senior leadership call.

  • peteholbrook Peter Holbrook (he) (@peteholbrook) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia had a phone call from Virgin Technical Support. How can i be sure this is genuine ?

  • grahamrhome Graham Roberts (@grahamrhome) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Is there an internet problem in Croydon CR8? Keep getting cut off but nothing showing in status page.

  • ianeastlondon IanEastLondon (@ianeastlondon) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia It was to try and fix my router / modem issues. I didn’t arrange it, the person I spoke to not the phone (the fifth person) said she had arranged it.

  • CheukRuby Ruby Lau (@CheukRuby) reported from London, England

    Internet is down since 1am this morning @virginmedia Reset hub but no use...... My virgin media showing no service outage in my area.......

  • alij_price Alison Price (@alij_price) reported from Bromley, England

    Die to have @virginmedia installed 13/3 they turned up today for outside works and found a blockage so another permit needed before the work can go ahead! Customer service useless!!!

  • jpmcic Jean-Paul Marc (@jpmcic) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Am having more connectivity issues now and the lights are flashing and unable to establish a connection.

  • SoulfulScotsman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Stephen Howie 🍀 (@SoulfulScotsman) reported from Richmond, England

    @PaulLuckhurst @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia - This morning I'm having the same problem Paul was. A rights restrictions message on the video stream on BT Sport 1 via Virgin TV Go. Never seen this before. Can this be investigated. Fairly certain there can have been a sudden change in rights mid-season. Thanks

  • ianeastlondon IanEastLondon (@ianeastlondon) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia Sometimes. But that’s not the issue. It behaves the same if not connected to VPN.

  • peteholbrook Peter Holbrook (he) (@peteholbrook) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia In relation to a potential weakness in security. I’ve got a retro phone with no caller ID. I have a name, they provided a customer licence number for me to check and to authenticate them as genuine . I have a name and they said they were phoning from Hampshire.

  • alij_price Alison Price (@alij_price) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I ordered virgin on 17/2 no permit was applied for until the week my install was due (13/3) I got a text at 9pm the night before saying it couldn’t happen and now workmen have today told me they need another permit to dig up further down the road!!!

  • peteholbrook Peter Holbrook (he) (@peteholbrook) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Just dialled1471 The originating number was 01424 850444 does that help?

  • Murrony Jenny Haines (@Murrony) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia How to leave virgin media broadband if we cannot reach any of customer service number listed on your website?

  • mat9sww Simon Willis (@mat9sww) reported

    @virginmedia still havi g issues with the chat facility. What do you suggest?

  • TheBigWilko Chris Wilkinson (@TheBigWilko) reported

    @virginmedia have you blocked me from calling your help centre because you KNOW the upcoming call about the 200% rise in my broadband bill is not going to be a pleasant one?

  • SeyiSoremekun Shay Soremekun (@SeyiSoremekun) reported

    @Matthew99029297 @virginmedia Using my mobile phone as a hotspot, and asked Virgin if they would compensate me if I produced an invoice (separate to the normal compensation for service outage). I was told to call back. 3 days later still no internet and no idea whether they'll pay for my phone data.

  • cleland777 alison cleland (@cleland777) reported

    @NillySutton @hazeltunes @virginmedia nightmare, can't imagine you will get any text back! I have just logged a complaint on Twitter. Don't know what else to do - they have made it literally impossible to cancel... not sure what #Ofcom would think of that. I will wait and see if they acknowledge a complaint!

  • LJBush Lorraine Jean Bush (@LJBush) reported

    @virginmedia You've been changing the fix by date for 13 days!!! What's the point of checking, it's all smoke and mirrors to keep charging people. Your compensation scheme is a con too. Shady unreliable. Change your logo cause VM certainly are not reliable

  • shanky2719 Sankar Satchidananda (@shanky2719) reported

    Virgin Media - Every call I made had a different outcome although the request was the same. It beggars belief. There is no contact email address or even a working chat to get across a simple request. And I am a customer for 10+ years!!

  • WeedenColin Colin Weeden (@WeedenColin) reported

    @PaulTraynier @queenchristina_ @virginmedia Virgin Media deserves a minus number for it’s appalling customer service

  • emogeekface Kate or Death (@emogeekface) reported

    @Jamescorkhill @virginmedia @WeAreOpenreach You *should* be able to break your contract I read on MoneySavingExpert. We're also over a barrel as we don't even have the infrastructure for anything other than virgin as they never put it in when they built the house :-(

  • NillySutton Nilly Sutton (@NillySutton) reported

    @cleland777 @hazeltunes @virginmedia They are now giving me the run around on text messages. I messaged saying I want to cancel, they sent 3 automated texts about what they can’t help with. Now they’ve text to confirm I want to cancel, I’ve said yes. They can’t help so someone else will text me 😭
